Let me say first, Senator Wyden, I am so sorry about this process. I would have preferred hearings, a markup, a Democratic cosponsor.

Fifteen Democratic Senators recently declared such while endorsing a single-payer system.

We capped the amount of money a State could see as an increase to 25 percent.

I hope that you accept that I also have studied health care and am passionate about it and am passionate about caring for the uninsured.

We are not touching Medicare, we are not touching employer-sponsored insurance, we are not touching Tricare.

Actually, a State could take the dollars that we are giving and continue the expansion program as they have it now.

We need to pass Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson, returning power to patients and States, while expanding access to coverage for millions.

We want equity so that, no matter where an American lives, she or he can get the care they need.

A one-size-fits-all approach is not the answer.

Allow us to do something different.

We actually, for those two States, we corrected the amount they get from Medicaid.

I think Governors want to take care of the folks in their State.

The statute specifically says that the Governor must establish that those with pre-existing conditions have access to 'adequate and affordable' coverage.

We stand united in opposition to the proposal put forward by Senators Lindsey Graham, Bill Cassidy, Dean Heller, and Ron Johnson.

It ends the Medicaid expansion and the affordability provisions to help people pay for private health insurance.

We agree. Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson passes a flexible block grant through the CHIP program.

It is 148 pages, not 990 pages as was the Affordable Care Act.

The last version was correcting drafting errors; 99.9 percent the same.
